Halo 3 is a media giant right now and it has already officially hit the 1 million pre-sell mark. Launch day for Halo 3 is a monumental day and I am curious if the Xbox LIVE servers will be able to handle the huge influx of users crashing the servers simultaneously?

Not only are gamers craving this game but so is anyone that can co-market their products on the backs of the Halo franchise. Halo 3 is now running promotions and marketing with: 7-Eleven, Mountain Dew, Pontiac, The Projekt Revolution Tour and Burger King.

In a sad way I am actually happy to see Master Chief plastered on the side of a Burger King french fry box, why you ask? Well because it means people are beginning to view the video game industtry seriously and value the effect a franchise title like Halo 3 can have, perhaps we will see more co-marketing of this style in the future.

Although it is ironic that most of the things asscoicated with Halo 3 are not exactly health conscious, Mountain Dew, 7-Eleven and Burger King, all they need left is a deal with Lard.

Hit the jump for the full list of Halo 3 sponsored goods and events.
